I wanted to get rid of the grattle in my SR-60s a couple weeks ago, so I took them apart. I got the stray hairs out, and everything was fine and dandy. Then I figured, since they were apart, I should go ahead and mod. And mod I did. I threw this together using a hair guard designed for showers.



I can't really decide if it's ugly or if it looks decent. I haven't glued anything yet, and I'm pondering if I should put the buttons on or not. Any feedback, let me know.

hey, that's a pretty cool aesthetic mod.

does it do anything for the sound though?

keep the stainless steel blinging!

Honestly, I've never heard any difference in sound with Grados unless the passage is COMPLETELY blocked, so if there is a difference, it's too minute to tell.
Edit: Oh, I just checked, it's aluminium

It doesn't look that bad, Acutally looks alright.

I seriously loled! That's great

I would have never thought to use drain guards as grills. Home Depot sells some awesome looking mesh in the gutter section that would be much cheaper (I paid $1.29).

I'm not sure if they would sound too good like that either. The drain grill is a little to restricting in reguards to sound waves, you would probably get a lot of reflection compared to the stock grills.

"Ghetto" yet creative idea that had positive results.

Though I think it would look better if it had a badge or something at the center of it.

 

[B-side J]

Yeah sorry dude but I would re-think that one...

 

[RnB180]

Sorry,
1 vote for ugly. Made me cringe a bit. Seriously

No offense

It doesn't look that bad actually. As long as your happy and you like it then that is all that matters. The Mike Jones mod is by far the ugliest I have ever seen.

The drain guards were, believe it or not, 89 cents! I still have the stock grills here that I can easily switch out, and don't notice any difference in sound quality at all, and I usually have a decent ear for that kind of thing, so it appears to be purely aesthetic. Now I'm just wondering if I should put the buttons back on...

Haha, you definitely get an A for originality!

Was that the silver paint? If so, yeah, that was pretty horrible.

These actually look like beauty queens compared to one wingnut mod I saw here not too long ago where a dude used silver spray paint and just went to town on his Grados... it was a trainwreck to say the least. I am convinced that even God himself wept that day.
